So, I'm listening to WVXU, Cincinnati's NPR, and they say she's been released, but what was her scheduled term for that offense, anyhow? I never heard.

I just lost all respect for that judge. Should have let her rot in there.

In civil contempt, you can be held indefinitely (i.e. until you are deemed to be no longer in contempt).
The longest term on record (in the US) is 14 years.

It may be a short stay on the outside.

Her lawyers are just right wing Liberty University stooges who don't give a shit about her except so far as she provides them a pretext to parrot the Christians-are-under-attack narrative the sheep love to bleat about and to press their agenda in the courts. She's nothing more than a useful idiot (oh, sorry -- brave champion for religious liberty). If it hadn't been her, I'm sure they would have found another wannabe martyr for Christ they could have used.

She's just going to end up back in there for contempt.
Why do you think she should be exempt from issuing marriage licenses?

Yeah, it sounds like she'll be back in jail for contempt within the week.

One of her lawyers was on Fox. Seems like there should be something in the Bible about not having lawyers discuss religious shit in public too, just prohibiting the women from doing it clearly isn't good enough.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
